Focus helps if your LOGOS is inspired, otherwise you're just digging the hole deeper. Need a fresh start? Join us for one of our free IDEA Café Startup Workshops. We meet this afternoon (Friday, February 8) at Tony's, 950 Broadway here in Denver, other meetings forming in metro-Denver now, across Colorado soon, and eventually around the world we hope.

If you'd like to start a new IDEA Café Startup Workshop in cooperation with your local chamber of commerce or other group, contact us for more information or just attend an IDEA Café. Not in Denver? Online IDEA Café each Friday afternoon for those who might like to start a new IDEA Café or Franklin Circle Peer Group, see http://Meetup.com/Small-Biz-Chamber

To be a guest on The Startup Show or a SPECIAL EDITION

Google+ Suggests that for each show we:

✓ Make sure all participants have set up a Google account, with a Google+ profile, and have uploaded a profile photo. ✓ Make sure all participants have added you to their Circles, and you have added them. ✓ Make sure your participants who aren’t using the Chrome browser download and install the Hangouts plugin before the broadcast. ✓ Microphone quality is also important for voice clarity -- if they’re using the default microphone on an old computer, they may need to upgrade and use an external microphone instead. ✓ The biggest distraction in a Hangout On Air is background noise and feedback. Ask all participants to use headphones or earbuds. For more see http://plus.google.com

Once you have met these requirements, call us and leave a complete message about who you are and why you think those who watch The Startup Show would be interested in what you have to say. We are primarily interested in scheduling people who have started a business. Call us at (303)861-1447

Our mission and purpose:

The mission of your new, free Small Business Chamber of Commerce (no dues or fees for membership, we intend to be self-supporting through fully disclosed voluntary contributions so the help we provide is available to everyone) is to strengthen the voice of the grassroots in business and politics. We cooperate with local chambers and other groups to organize low cost/ no cost IDEA Startup Workshops, Franklin Circles (Peer Advisory Groups), and Ignatian Faith Sharing.

Our purpose is to do Good Work and to help others do Good Work, too. Good Work provides: 1) useful products and services for customers, and 2) for all involved in the business (owners, employees, and suppliers) an adequate income and an opportunity for learning and personal growth, all for the greater glory of our God as we each understand God. For more see E.F. Schumacher's book Small is Beautiful and James Martin's book the Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything.

To learn more about what we do, attend our free weekly Denver IDEA Cafe Startup Workshop or one of our 4-week Jesuit Guide Faith Sharing Groups:

To volunteer to help organize and/or facilitate a weekly IDEA Cafe Startup Workshop at your local chamber of commerce, or for information about starting or joining a Franklin Circle Peer Advisory Group contact John Wren at John@JohnWren.com or (303)861-1447.

Associated we can accomplish more! This life is short, let's get started!
